Recap: The Rescue of the Queen

Last time on Star Wars Episode 3.5....

After recruiting John, the Tuskan Raider Jedi, and acquiring the help of Jabba the Hutt, the group heads out to the Hutt's contact, with Boba Fett, to the Sandy Squirrel, where Poppin's cousin Puffin runs the place.  After talking to the leader of the local Sand Shark Gang, the group convinced the Gang to help them.  A plan was soon made; while Savaya and the Gang create a two-pring explosion distraction, Akaan and Boba would ensure that was an escape path, while the team (who was there) would infiltrate and rescue the Queen. Conveniently for the group, Commander Barose was having a dinner party to celebrate the grand opening of his new five floor Rosseau Palace. Each of the three found their own way in; Gorgon, after unsuccessfully gambling for a ticket, used his Iron Chef cooking skills to be hired as a cook; John pretended (I think) to sell Ayla as a slave to a visiting rich couple; and Ayla followed her new "Master" to the party as the adorable pet.

While entering the place, the group discovered the Queen was the slave for a Miss Solona Skyslayer, who just happened to be a Sith Padawan who help finance building the palace.  The group continued to mingle (John did particularly well with a Rodian Gal named Neeka) until the explosion occurs.  At this point, Barose and Solona moved the party to the top floor, and threatened to throw a baby Jawa and Ayla's "Master" into a domed area with a scary Netu.  While Gorgon ensured security did not interfere on the first floor (taking on numerous storm troopers), John and Ayla were able to defeat Barose (in a cunning ambush), Solona (via cutting her in half) and the storm troopers, while sending the Netu on its way back downstairs.

Which sent it right towards Gorgon, who managed to escape its grasp.  The group then escaped with the Jawa Babies, the Queen and the entire team via an escape line sent by Akaan and Boba Fett (who killed the Netu).  Leaving Bestine, the group, minus Boba Fett and the Jawa Babies, took two land speeders back to Mos Eisley, not knowing what would come next.  The group has not had a real talk with the Queen yet, so what awaits in the future is partially unknown...

Unknown to the party, Solona's Master, Zornagod Zyphur, awaits in ambush in order to pursue his mission at Mos Easley...but is it revenge or to recruit?  Meanwhile, Moff Argas Vicious gets closer and closer to the group's location and the trouble at Mustafar grows once again.  And what have Telos and Hakim been doing?
